Default which fender do you like better?

I told the painter to do something a little "different" on the Wrapper fender, because I didn't think I would have it on the bike that much. Here it is.

I like the fender in the first picture. Beautiful paint job! I really like it. It stands out because of the colors and it's different than the usual flames. And I'm partial to flames!

I like the larger fender with stretched bags. Seems more balanced. The thinner fender shows the wheel more, but I like the larger one better

The one in the big picture looks best to me. It kind of balances out the stretched bags. JMHO>
EDIT: (Sorry for the repeat comments about balance, I didn't read them until I posted)
